Thanks Asra for the Tarots Cards!♡~

I am so glad! I got The Arcana Tarots Cards because I love how NixHydra lays out!~

I'm a buddhism person, but I'm much more Skeptical.

I expected a lot of realistic situations and unexpectional towards the Final results of this day.

I foretell myself my Fortune: Past, Present, and Future

I'm no magician but, I can feel my energy around The Arcana Tarots.

Weird....I'm getting such headaches from these cards.

1, 2, 5, and 10 for the Apprentice April asks!

oh yeah baybee here we go i’m so excited 🤠

1. The Basics.  What is your character’s name?  How old are they?  How tall are they?  Skin color?  Eye color?  Hair color?  Gender identification?

- lucinda wei, 28 years old, she’s abt 5’4 or 162 cm? idk i used google lmao. she’s chinese (or the arcana’s equivalent) so her hair is black and her eyes are that dark brown / almost black color. she is female, and uses she/her pronouns. has quite a few tattoos, like some chinese characters that are symbolic to her and a TON of witchy ones. she looks like one of those people u don’t wanna approach bc they look like a badass who will beat u for even speaking to them but she’s rlly just a sweetheart!!! idk how to describe her skintone so here’s a photo, i guess? lol

2.  Love Interest.  Who does your character love?  What attracted them to that particular LI?

- it’s hard to pick just oNE but if i have to, i feel bad saying it but i suppose it would be lucio. she is a sucker for flirtatiousness and that’s literally lucio lmao. i suppose it could also be julian, especially with his insecurities i can see them getting along in that sense. if being poly and dating all of them is an option, ignore everything i just said bc that’s her. Unapologetically A Hoe™

5. Hidden talents.  Is there something neat that your character can do?  Tie a cherry stem into a knot with their tongue?  Say any word backwards perfectly?

- not to sound basic or anything, but i was gonna say she can tie a cherry stem with her tongue LMAO. but i’d say she’s also quite good at archery, since she’s done it for most of her life. i’d also say she’s quite fit? she might even do a little yoga, who knows? (hint: it’s me, i know. she definitely does lmfao)

10. WTF.  Has anything just…weird ever happened to your character?  Something that made them stop and go “What just happened?!”

- pretty much when the plague started. or when julian broke into the shop. or when she seen muriel for the first time. like, how can someone be that tall?! oh, or maybe the fact that every now and then when her mother writes back to her, she sends stuff like baby booties and handmade stuffies. yeah, she’s not really subtle...

Yay! What about 3, 13 and 23 for the romantic asks? ^^?

:3 okeeday friend!!

:DDD

//man u really pulled the angst for number 3

Romance Asks

3 | When they are having a fight, what is it about and how do they deal with it? 

“Honestly, when we get into fights, it’s really just about him being concerned about my safety. Aerial Silks can sometimes be a dangerous sport/hobby, but with proper training, you’re less likely to get hurt.

I have the silks set over the lake, to break my fall, and protection charms instilled on the branch holding the silks. He mainly gets worried that I’ll fall, and get hurt. Especially with the higher up drops and tricks. 

I deal with it by asking him to watch me, and telling him how it works. I also make him dinner, as consolation.”

13 |  How do they react at being away from each other?

“Personally, I find it hard to fall asleep, and I just worry about him, in general. But I know that he can handle himself, it’s just me being protective I suppose.

He won’t tell me this, but I know from Asra that he stress cleans when I’m away from him. He also takes very long walks in the forest, along the little path we made. It’s sweet, really.”

For the Author

23 |  Did you tailor your OC for the other in the romance?

//Mainly yes. Her strengths and weaknesses are opposite of him, in some sorts. (She is pretty strong so I mean,,,) But I also gave her a chaotic side, because no relationship is perfect honestly. Asra was a feral little kids so he knows how to deal with chaos.

thank you blue!! :33

Apprentice April

I am in love with this Apprentice April thing by @starblazerm31 so here’s my answers for th 2nd ask thing(sorry for long post):

1. What does your character feel when they see their LI for the first time each day?

Some of the times when Étain first sees Lucio in the day, she can only feel pure adoration towards him! Though most of the time it’s just annoyance over what ever stupid shit he’s decided to be doing then.

2. What things does your character love about their LI?

What doesn’t she love about Lucio? If she had to choose though it’d be his hair (it’s very soft and smooth)

3. What things about their LI annoy them?

Lucio has a tendency to rush into things without thinking and Étain tends to spen way too much time thinking about things, so they have a lot of disagreements when doing/planning things.

4. Who does what chores?

Étain usually takes up doing most of the chores, but she does make Lucio help out once in a while.

5. Do they prefer to stay at home, or do they like to go out?

They definitely love going out and doing stuff (restaurants, shopping, etc.) but they doing have a few... activities that they like doing at home.

6. What are some little things they do for each other throughout the day?

I have a sort of headcannon that after Lucio’s route, Étain and Lucio settle down and sorta stay away from the royal life that Lucio had gotten used to, so Étain makes a point to help him readjust. As for things that Lucio does for her, Étain has always been a bit touch starved and has some self confidence issues, so gentle touches and sweet words always help out.

7. What are some private jokes they share?

Lot of jokes having to do with M&M.

8. What are some embarrassing couple stories?

Étain thought Lucio was cheating and buying things for another woman. Lucio was secretly make it plans and buying gifts for their anniversary. Embarrassing shenanigans ensue.

9. Is their relationship open or exclusive?

Exclusive.

10. How often do they need to be intimate?

Have you seen Lucio’s route??? Constant attention and intimacy is a must.

11. Have they ever fought?

Once or twice, mainly over decorating.

12. Describe their perfect date

Dinner at a fancy restaurant, then just a quiet night at home. It’s rather plain and simple all things considered, but being together is really all the want/need.

13. Do they have an evening routine?

Not really, they usually just do what they want for the whole day until they go to bed, almost no schedule at all.

14. Describe a “paid scene” with your character and their LI

You know that one scene from Lady And The Tramp? Yeah, it that with a homemade meal the two of them cooked on their birthday/anniversary/other important date.

15. Would they go on a double date?

Depends on who the other couple is. Things get awkward whenever Asra or Nadia is around.

16. Who pops the question?

Definitely Lucio. Étain has a bad past when it comes to marriage, so she doesn’t even really consider it while they’re together. Of course, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t immediately shout say yes as soon as Lucio takes a knee.

17. Describe the wedding

Despite their shared interest of staying away from the royal and rich side of their lives, no expenses were spared when it came to the wedding. Just the amount of gold used could blind you if you looked at it in the right light. It was amazing.

18. Any babies?

Nah, I don’t really think of Lucio or Étain as kid people.

19. Do they stay in Vesuvia, or eventually move somewhere else?

They do move out of the city, but they stay close.

20. Talk about that family life. What’s it’ like?

Étain doesn’t really have any family, and from what I can tell Morga is Lucio’s only family, so family life is kinda... eh.

(Sorry again for long post)

[dreams-of-the-arcana]

Andi! Cleo! I need to know 4, 7, and 9 for AA 5!

Can I just say you’re a treasure to this fandom ❤️ it’s definitely long since no one knows anything about them yet but I hope you enjoy!

4. Has your character come in contact with any other Arcana? (other than the Devil)  Tell us about it.

Andi: It was the Chariot who carried Andi as she was reborn and led her to Asra at the request of her patron, Justice. The memory is fuzzy but when Andi thinks about that night she remembers the feeling of determination and hope with the feeling of leather in her hands. She communicates with many of the Arcana through divination but since her specialty is more in the present by way of reading people’s animal guides she doesn’t use traditional tarot as much as Asra.

Cleo: When Cleo was betrayed, it wasn’t the Devil’s realm she landed in but in Justices. Justice sent her back to the world and kept Cleo’s memories so she would have the chance to start over and make decisions on a fair basis. During her time with Justice though, Cleo learned a lot about the Arcana and how they presented themselves. Cleo absently daydreams of marble halls with a throne at the end where a woman sits, her eyes covered with the sword and scales in her hands.

In your character’s story, how did they acquire the Stove Salamander?

Andi: Don’t tell anyone but Andi stole the stove salamander when she was only 14 and moved to Vesuvia. When she decided to leave the traveling band of magicians she released all the magical animals from their cages but the salamander wouldn’t run away. Andi had to think fast and ended up stuffing him in her pocket because alarms were raised and she had to go! Andi didn’t notice he was still there until they’d cleared quite a distance and by then she just shrugged and thought he’d be better off with her if he was so tame.

Cleo: She first met the stove salamander when Asra took her in and never thought to ask where he came from. (Asra was given the salamander in Nopal after saving a village from being destroyed by a sandstorm)

Give us some headcanons of your character with other Arcana characters.  Did your character meet them before they died?  Were they close?

Andi: Andi met Asra first, she’d only recently moved to Vesuvia and wasn’t confident in directions at all. Then all of a sudden this boy with a mess of white curls appeared out of nowhere and asked if she was lost. “How can you tell?” “I’m psychic” “Right, then where am I going?” “Straight to my heart”.

Andi met Muriel while helping Asra smuggle food and supplies to him while Muriel was trapped in the colosseum. Shockingly they didn’t trust each other for a long time.

Post-Death

Andi hates Julian... okay maybe not Hate... or rather not Julian. Andi hates Doctors. Julian may or may not become unusually confused in her presence and have a strong desire to go away.

Portia however, Andi adores Portia. Definitely the top Devorak sibling in Andi’s opinion, aspirations of becoming a pirate queen are way more sensible in her mind than wanting to stab people with needles and touch leeches. They can get together to do anything and have fun.

Andi prefers to keep a distance from Nadia. Unchecked power will influence anyone and so Andi finds it hard to want to get close to her.

If she ever sees that goatman again after what he did to everyone she’ll roast him herself.

Cleo: There’s a lot of past to unpack with Lucio so we’ll go with: It’s complicated.

Cleo first met Muriel during their time in service to Lucio. Cleo was happy for the chance to be away from Lucio, who could hardly look at her lately. It was a very slow process for the two of them to get used to each other but circumstances pushed them together frequently. When they finally accepted each other’s company they became very comfortable friends... then something much more. Cleo considered it the best time in her life until it was all ripped away. After she came back it took a long time for Muriel to accept it and even longer for him to be around her again.

Post-Death:

When Julian isn’t acting like a Doctor then Cleo enjoys his company. She thinks the drama of his existence is fun and definitely plays along.

Cleo thinks of Portia as the more sensible Devorak but no less fun. The three of them can get into some weird situations fast.

Something about Nadia’s presence makes Cleo feel extremely uncomfortable, as if she’s doing something terribly wrong but doesn’t know what.

With all her memories of Lucio gone their encounters hurt him more than her.
